County Fair Bruce Springsteen |
|
Every year when summer comes around |
|
They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town |
|
You can feel somethin's happenin' in the air |
|
Well, from Carol's house up on Telegraph Hill |
|
You can see the lights going up out in Soldiers Field |
|
Getting ready, for the county fair |
|
County fair, county fair, |
|
Everybody in town'll be there |
|
So come on, hey we're goin' down there |
|
(hey) Little girl with the long blond hair |
|
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears |
|
Baby, down at the country fair |
|
Now you'll be hangin' tight when we hit the top |
|
And that rollercoaster's ready to drop |
|
And your braggin', how you wasn't even scared |
|
Well baby you know I just love the sound |
|
Of that pipe organ on the merry-go-round |
|
Baby, down at the county fair |
|
County fair, county fair, |
|
Everybody in town'll be there |
|
So come on, hey we're goin' down there |
|
(hey) Little girl with the long blond hair |
|
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears |
|
Baby, down at the country fair |
|
At the north end of the field they set up a stand |
|
And they got a little rock and roll band |
|
People dancin' out in the open air |
|
It's James Young and the Immortal Ones |
|
Two guitars, (baby) bass and drums |
|
Just rockin', down at the county fair |
|
(well) County fair, county fair |
|
Everybody in town'll be there |
|
So come on, we're goin' down there |
|
Little girl with the long blond hair |
|
Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears |
|
Baby, down at the county fair |
|
Now it's getting late before we head back to town |
|
We let that fortune wheel spin around |
|
Come on mister tell me what's waiting out there |
|
On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark |
|
Hope I can remember where our car's parked |
|
Baby, out at the county fair |
|
Now off down the highway there's the last stream of cars |
|
We sit a while in my front yard |
|
With the radio playin' soft and low |
|
I pull Carol close to my heart |
|
And I lean back and stare up at the stars |
|
Oh I wish, never have to let this moment go. |
